SAN JOSE — The Bay Area woke up Thursday morning to thunder and lightning as a storm system continued to deliver the first good soaking in an otherwise dry February.

Since Wednesday night, the storm system delivered between a quarter-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain to most locations, according to the National Weather Service.

More than 100 lightning strikes were reported throughout the Bay Area, including between the Farallon Islands and Golden Gate Bridge, according to Diana Henderson, a forecaster with the weather service.

Sonoma and Monterey counties were also among “the busiest places” for lightning Thursday morning, she said. The weather service reported some Bay Area locations received more than 1 inch of rain since Wednesday, including the White Rock rain station in Monterey County (2.44 inches). San Jose recorded 0.26 inches of rain. San Francisco recorded 0.67 inches, Oakland 0.35 inches, Concord 0.86 inches and as of 4 p.m.

Rain numbers in Santa Cruz County reflected the figures in the Bay Area.

Boulder Creek posted 1.57 inches of rain while Ben Lomond recorded 1.22 inches to top Santa Cruz County precipitation totals, according to Sentinel weather watchers.

Santa Cruz collected 0.84 inches according to Accuweather.

Despite the recent storm system, February is turning into a bust. The entire region is tracking abysmally short of its monthly average totals, including San Francisco (0.82 inches this month, 28 percent of normal) and San Jose (0.31 inches, 15 percent).

However, the Bay Area is still close to its annual rainfall totals. San Francisco has received 14.37 inches (88 percent of normal) and San Jose 9.1 inches (93 percent).

There is a chance of rain Friday, mostly in the North Bay, before dry weather returns for the weekend, with highs in the mid- to upper 60s, Henderson said. Next week is shaping up to be sunny and dry, with temperatures climbing into the low-70s beginning Monday.
